Mayor Hewitt. Of New York, has asked
the staggering question: 'Wh by, when the
pest teachers are women, they don't get the
best payf"-BostoH hdRsertpI.
Prejudice, dear Mr.. Hewitt, preju-
dice. There is still popular idea,
which the Woman Suffrage Associa-
tons are striving to root out, that
the work of q woman cannot be
worth as much as that of man, and
that the best paid positions in schools
must be reserved for men. The dis
elimination is made following the
example Of a certain old New Jer-
sey farmer. He had alighted from
his wagon, in which were his wife, a
basket OF eggs and other breakables,
His young horse started off. He
was lame and could not run after the
team. He shouted at the top of his
voice: stop that horsel Stop that
horse White man stop him, So;
black man stop him, 90 cents"

Queen Elizabeth, of Rumania, de-
voted such a large amount of time to
singing that her attendants lately as
sured her that her voice entitled her
to rank with the most celebrated of
singers. The Aattery bore fruit, for
the Queen began to ask herself if
these rare vocal gifts ought not to be
dedicated to her people. She de-
termined first to have the unbiased
opinion of musical critic, and so
went incognita to the French pre-
lessor, Dumanois, and sang before
him in Bucharest. The professor
caused the Queen to run over the
scales, and then to sing a song and
an opera aria. Then, turning to her,
he said seriously: You have no
voice at all, though plenty of musical
feeling and excellent phrasing. |
would train you for the operetta, but
that, to be sincere, you have not
the right facet" The Queen handed
the professor several gold pieces with
her card, buying before she left a
dozen opera airs for private study.

Andrew Carnegie's furnaces at
Pittsburg make as much iron per
year as was made in the entire coun-

Pittsburg has the largest steel
melting establishments in the world.
The city melts $50 tons per day. =.
The machinists on the Pacific
coast are extremely busy with orders
ofall kinds of mining machinery and
appliances to meet the rushing de-
mand. Mexico, Arizona, Montana
and Colorado are very heavy buyers.
New England trades uniOnism is
OF a tanner sort than in the West.
The shoe towns are the most active
in the propagation of unionism. The
textile towns take things easier: EN-
ployers are Strengthening their de-
fsDsive organizations.
The makers of blast furnace ma:
chinery, and of mill equipments and
appliances, have not been so crowded
with orders for many years. A Chi
cago syndicate has just purchased Q
rolling mill in Howard, Pa, and will
introduce the Bessemer process.
Within two years 100000 skilled
mechanics have been set to work In
the chief cities of the United States.
A fair guess would put the increase
all over the country at | 100000.
The demand for labor is growing
rapidly, and with it the demand for
higher pay and shorter hours.
Electric railways are now running
or built in twenty three towns and
cities of the United States. An cleo

at a speed of twelve miles an hour.
Industrial prospects are favorable

To the Editors Of the Appeal:
l am glad to see that both sides of
the Tennessee Midland subscription
schemes are being discussed in the
APPEAL. In today's issue of yeur
paper | observe a communication
which, to my mind, effectively dis.
poses of the inflated figures which
appeared in the communication OF
Merchant" published earlier in
the week. / desire to supplement
Taxpayers" communication with
some additional figures, which are
respectfully submitted to the
consideration of the members
of the County Court and to
the people. 1t is a little chapter
of railroad history which is
painfully timely. Shelby county
has subscribed 100000 to the
Little Rock railroad, and realized
about $4,000. She lost the amount
subscribed, as we'll as the navy yard
property, which was mortgaged to
secure the bonds. This property
today is not worth less than SOC, 600.
She lost about 100000, includinO
interest, upon the Selma road. She
subscribed about 100000 on the
Memphis and Charleston road, and
received little if any in return. She
lost about $500, 900 on the Mississippi
River road. She subscribed $780,
600 to the Memphis and Ohio, aud
realized about $4,000. She sus-
tanned dead loss of $4,000 on the
road to Raleigh. Thus it will be
seen that Shelby county has sus-
tanned on these roads a loss Of fully
81 100000. On not one road has she
ever got what she put out. This is
the consistent experience Of railroad
subscription in Shelby county, and
it shows that the chances are about
7 to against the county's getting
back anything on the Midland road
or if she does get anything it will be
about one seventh of what she sub.
soribed. In the face Of such facts il
would be pure and unadorned folly
to court loss as certain as fate
The merchants of Memphis almost
to a man are opposed to the subscrip.
ton of money by State, county OIL
city for the building of railroads, and
the country people are unalterably
opposed to it. The duty Of the Coun.
ty Court is clear and | have no doubt
they will not waver in the discharge
Of it. CITIZEN.
